Bronia will be missed by all who knew her and enjoyed her wry sense of humour and playful nature, including her nephews Morris and Syd Baumel and her niece Faye Minuk and their families, the staff at the Sharon Home, her many friends and acquaintances and her devoted nursing home companion Susan Stenson. A graveside service will be held on Sunday, September 5 at 11:00 a.m. at the Shaarey Zedek cemetery.
